It is day #2 of Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies release blog hop. Hope you had a wonderful hop yesterday with plenty of inspirations from designers. Today is another day with more designers sharing their inspirations. Hope you enjoy day #2 as well.
Hello and welcome! You should have come from the talented Anna-Karin Evaldsson’s blog. If so you are on the right track. If not don’t worry you are the last stop on the hop. I will list all the designers in today’s hop towards the end of the post.
I am so excited to share couple of cards with you today. I also have a video tutorial for one of the cards. My favourite stamp set from this release is the Wake Up & Make Up stamp set and comes with coordinating dies as well. I have a teenage daughter. She is into makeup which got me interested in it. After watching a few hundred makeup videos on Youtube, I now have a collection which I share with my daughter and I can do basic makeup like contour, baking, bronzing, eyeshadows etc. I did my daughter’s makeup for her year 12 school ball and it turned out well. Now I have a few friend’s daughters lined up for their school ball and dinner dance make up with me. 🙂 You can now imagine, how happy I was when I saw this stamp set and dies. I literally did a happy dance, took a photo and text it to my daughter who was at school. Lol! Stories aside, here is the first card.
Card #1

Here is the video tutorial of the card. You can also watch this video on my Youtube channel.
The shimmer on the liptsticks are just so beautiful. Oh I wish I can add shimmer to everything Lol! Here are some closeups of the card for you.

Card #2

Remember that panel from the video where I stamped the sentiment slightly towards the right and not in the top centre? I used that panel to make this second card. I stamped all the makeup images and coloured them using copic markers in cool gray, red and yellow colours. Then using the coordinating dies, I die cut them all out. I adhered them all around the sentiment covering the entire panel. I added shimmer (of course) to the images, glossy accents to the lipsticks and blush. I also outlined the die cuts using C1 grey maker to add shadow. The panel is adhered to Fog card base using foam adhesives.
